What Is Retina Surgery (Vitrectomy)? Vitrectomy surgery is performed to repair many diseases that affect the back of the eye including the retina, vitreous and macula. This procedure requires the removal of the liquid gel, located in the back of the eye, called the vitreous.

If a blood vessel in the retinal circulation gets blocked than a retinal vein or retinal artery occlusion can occur. This can result in sudden painless loss of vision. There can also be serious long term complications such as cystoid macular oedema (CMO or CME) and neovascular glaucoma

Intravitreal injections are used to administer medications to treat a variety of retinal conditions. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion are the most common conditions treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs.

Cataract surgery, also called lens replacement surgery, is the removal of the natural lens of the eye that has developed an opacification, which is referred to as a cataract, and its replacement with an intraocular lens

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that can happen in babies who are premature (born early) — or who weigh less than 3 pounds at birth. ROP happens when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).

There is no cure (yet) for glaucoma, but if it's caught early, you can preserve your vision and prevent vision loss. Taking action to preserve your vision health is key.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is the most common cosmetic eye procedure performed at Yale Medicine. For the upper lid, the procedure involves making an incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, and then removing and reshaping the excess skin, muscle, and fat that develop with age and sun exposure

Eyelid surgery corrects drooping upper eyelids or puffy bags below your eyes. It is performed by removing fat and excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure can help treat: Puffiness in the upper eyelids.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging method that uses reflected light to create pictures of the back of your eye. It can be used to diagnose and manage diseases like diabetes-related retinopathy and glaucoma

A laser procedure that uses the heat from a laser to seal or destroy abnormal, leaking blood vessels in the retina. The procedure is used to treat diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease caused by high blood glucose that damages the smallest blood vessels supplying the retina, which can lead to blindness.

YAG laser capsulotomy is generally a very safe procedure. However, there are some risks and side-effects which includes an increase in floaters, raised intraocular pressure, inflammation, haloes/glare, lens damage, retinal tear/detachment. Your glasses prescription may also change after the laser treatment.
